EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) – Ryan Fitzpatrick is so close you could tug on the New York Jets quarterback’s beard and wish him luck.
Better look out, or you’ll be run over by some of those big offensive lineman making their way out to the field.
Well, not in reality, but virtual reality. It’s all part of a unique experience – “Jets Virtual Sideline” – the team is working on giving to their fans through some cutting-edge technology.
“Man, it’s cool,” said fan Phil Dinhofer of Merrick, New York. “It’s the wave of the future.”
The Jets certainly think that’s the case.
